Yeah, I oughta do that too.
I tell ya, it'd drive me nuts. Once you try just setting the foamgun down (I usually lay it across the rinse bucket) and grabbing the other hose, you'll be hooked! Hey, it's only one "Y" connector and an extra hose 
Biggest downside is having two hoses sitting there taking up room all the time. Or get one of those 4-outlet things from Gilmour and hook everything up to that; with the four individual shut-offs it's nice and handy and you can just leave it screwed onto the spigot all the time.
Yeah, easy for me to spend your money, huh? But really, that switching stuff at the end of the hose is something you'll be glad you eliminated.
On a functional note, I find that it makes it easier for me to work more meticulously in a panel-by-panel manner. Not like "eh, I might as well do the other door too before I bother messing with the nozzle again", if you know what I mean.
....thanks for the input.
I guess I'm a little weird (at least some of my neighbors look at me that way) because I typically wash my cars in my garage. Luckily, one of the agreements I had with the wife is that nothing but my tools, detailing supplies, etc. occupy that space. ....since I do 99% of the maintenance on our vehicles, she had no problem with that. This means no extra "stuff" to get in the way and enough space to work (including washing).
I actually have an L-bracket installed on my fence just outside of the side door (to the back yard) that I hang my hose on after use (out of the way; next to where my sediment and soft water filter are mounted). I run one hose from the tap to the inlet of the filters and then my shorter hose (that I hang on the fence) is my "working end". I'm envisioning that I can hook a "Y" to the filters, hook the CRS to one outlet (with one hose connected to that) and then the other hose to the 2nd outlet. Essentially, I will have one hose that has DI water and one that is soft water/sediment filtered.
I typically just use the 2BM and don't usually break out the foam gun for my standard washes so I think this will work *ok* for me in the meantime. ....at least it will cut down on the hooking/unhooking of the CRS, hoses, nozzles, etc. :frusty:
....btw, I may be wrong, but I recall that you mentioned something about having a pressure/flow regulator or a restrictor for your DI system? If so, would you mind letting me know what you are using and where you acquired it? This whole time I have been using the fan setting on my nozzles (per CRS's recommendation) to keep the pressure within the range needed for proper filtration. ....this is obviously limiting if I want to use other settings and/or the flood method.
Again, I appreciate the feedback. .....:sorry: for the hijack OP.
